Thanks to Ben at RGSport for taking my money. I ordered my Dinan intake on 7 APR and received on 14 APR. I'm guessing Dinan had a few on the shelf!

I am waiting for my RaceChip GTS Black to arrive, but initial thought is that the engine is slightly louder. More tomorrow when there aren't massive storms going through the area.

Install instructions here (there are no torque specs for any of the screws): http://files.dinancars.com/webresour...1be7d49f92.pdf

Notes:
  • Filters come heavily oiled (at least mine did). See picture below, I wiped off a bunch of excess when I took the plastic off.
  • I got a ton of extra edge trim (like enough to do four installs). One length is plenty to do it.
  • Make sure you clean out your intake area and vacuum it. I live in the Sandhills of North Carolina and I had a good amount of small sand and tiny rocks in the intake box.
  • When screwing on the box, you may think that you are cross-threading the screws. I thought I had as getting the screws back in feels a lot harder than it should and I didn't want to crack the CF lid at all. At one point, they felt close to being done and when I looked and noticed they were barely halfway down. I pulled the lid back off to make sure things were lined up and then just powered through the screws to get them all the way down.
  • Do you engine a favor, clean it while you are in there. Clean engine bays are important too!

Not sure ive ever seen "torque" values for screws in plastic. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

See below. It's pretty simple stuff, measures about 3/16th of an inch.

Take your Dinan lid to the store with you, only way to make sure it's right.

If you can't find any, shoot me a PM and I'll send some in the mail to you.
